Well, the mails seem to be encoded properly now. They have a valid content-type and MIME type, and the non-ASCII characters are in fact UTF-8 encoded.

I can read them well with my MUA (KMail), no problem here. Just for test purposes, I'll add some special characters below. The first line should be all German umlauts and sz:

äöüÄÖÜß

And here comes some accented characters:

àáèéìíòóùúÀÁÈÉÌÍÒÓÙÚ (aeiuo, both lower and upper case)

Does this work for everyone receiving this mail?

[field #9] Summary: Site mail encoding not specified
[field #10] Original Submission: I m a new subscriber, and a German account creation verification mail (which is nice!), but it is encoded in latin-1 and does not have a Content-type header, so the umlauts do not show correctly (I have my system set to UTF-8). Please specify the encoding so that the mail can be decoded.

[I hope this is the right place to put a site bug report, I could not find a bug tracker in the Gna! Administration project.]
